Its been 2 years since the day Sri and I met. Life couldn't be any better, touchwood :). I know I have said it before, but my god! I still cannot believe all this is happening to me. Sometimes life feels like a sweet dream ;-).

They say change is the only constant thing. In 2 years, I've changed a lot. I have talked previously about changes like cooking, working from home, but thats not what I want to write about today. Its about how my attitude has changed from where I was before I met Sri and now :).

Before

Now

Before I met him, I didn't really trust my judgement. There were too many "what if"s and I didn't really know how or whether I'd find my "Mr.Right".

Now I know my judgement is excellant :-D.

Before I met him, I thought a couple could understand each other without words. The spoken word was negligible.

Now I know thats not so. Communication is the foundation of a relationship. If there's no talk, then there are so many possibilities for multiple misunderstandings. Telepathy just doesn't work ;-).

Before I met him, I wasn't very career-oriented as such, but was determined to be financially independent.

Now, I don't mind leaving my job as such, not that I'd leave it. But am not hung up on my job as I earlier used to be.

Before I met him, I didn't really think leaving Bangalore (staying very far away from my parents) was a possibility. I thought I was prepared for such a scenario, but I really wasn't.

Now, not only have I left what I ever knew as home, I have gotten adjusted to living in a country with very obviously a different life-style altogether. I now know that though living away from everyone is sad sometimes, it has actually helped us grow closer together, made our bond stronger.

And lastly, before I met him, I thought I knew what love was. I thought I knew how a marriage worked.

About Me

I'm a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother. I'm a traveler, a singer, a writer, a poet, a gardener, a photographer, a cook, an amateur astronomer and an adventurer. I have also acted, sketched and danced a bit. These words are an integral part of who I am. Yet, they don't define me. I am so much more and I know I can be so much more :).

I follow traditions, but do not conform. I am modern, but don't get into every fad that comes along. I have an opinion on everything, so much that some people may call me opinionated. I am rarely temperamental, sometimes judgemental, most of the times plain mental (;-) :-D) and always sentimental :). But I am what I am - so damn! :-p.

Right now, I am facing the roller coaster ride of life with full gusto. My motto is to live life to the fullest in its complete sense. I also believe that life is too short to waste away and that each and every memory be it sad or happy, small or big is worth saving and remembering :). When I die, I want people to remember me as a woman who was multi-talented, multifaceted and a did-it-all ;-).

"Specialization is for insects" ;-) :-D.

About my family

My hubby Sri is a thorough sweetheart and I believe, my soulmate. He complements me in ways that I thought were not possible in this world :). This blog is a dedication to the adventures we have been through so far and the adventures we have to face, 'til death doeth us apart :).

Talking of adventures, we are on our biggest one right now! Our daughters Snugli and Sunny are the magic in our lives and make each day of our "parenthood" a thrill. They are spunky and sweet, giving a whole new meaning to "ups and downs". Wanna know more? How about reading the posts on the blog? :) ;-) :-D.
